What is a cord [cd] used for?

A cord is a volume unit primarily used for measuring stacked firewood, commonly defined as 128 cubic feet.

What does an acre-inch [ac*in] represent?

An acre-inch is the volume covering one acre of area to a depth of one inch, used mainly in irrigation and water storage contexts.

Why convert between cords and acre-inches?

Conversion helps relate solid biomass volumes like firewood to water volumes, assisting in forestry management and irrigation planning.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts volume measurements from cords, typically used for stacked firewood, to acre-inches, a unit used to express volumes covering land areas with a uniform depth.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the numeric volume value in cords into the input field.
Select the from unit as 'cord [cd]' and the to unit as 'acre-inch [ac*in]'.
Initiate the conversion to view the equivalent volume in acre-inches.
Use the results for comparing wood volume with water volume in relevant contexts.

Key Features

Converts cord volumes used in firewood measurement to acre-inch volumes used in irrigation and water management.
Provides clear definitions and contexts for both units to help users understand their applications.
Includes example conversions for easy reference.
Supports forestry, agricultural, and environmental volume comparisons.

Examples

10 cords equal approximately 0.3526 acre-inches.
50 cords convert to about 1.7631 acre-inches.

Common Use Cases

Measuring and reporting volumes of firewood for sale or use.
Planning irrigation requirements by comparing firewood volume to water volume units.
Managing water allocation and reservoir capacities in agriculture.
Supporting forestry and woodlot management with volume conversions.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the context when converting, as volume units represent different physical materials (solid wood vs. liquid).
Use this tool to facilitate resource comparisons in forestry, agriculture, and environmental projects.
Double-check measurement units when integrating volume data from different fields.
Understand that stacking methods and wood moisture can affect practical wood volume.

Limitations

Cords measure stacked wood volume whereas acre-inches represent a water depth over area; these represent different physical contexts.
Variability in wood density, stacking arrangements, and moisture modifies effective volume, affecting conversion precision.
Acre-inch is significantly larger, so converted values are fractions that may require careful interpretation.
